On each bootup, your basically holding the power button down to boot it up, and it still continues to boot anyways never removing your finger from the power button?

I always recall my second reboot being strange like that too, where it looked like it was entering the usual bootup, but with the power button held constantly, it would go down shortly after it flashed anything on the screen. I know I had to hold the power button on each boot attempt for like 20 to 30 seconds (or more sometimes it seemed).
